-Teeth whitening and calculus removal are often confused among patients. In the dental calculus cleaning process, the existing calculus is cleaned. Then, the stains on the tooth surface are removed from the tooth with special cleaners. As the tooth surface is cleaned, the surface color is partially lightened. But this decoloration is very small. For this reason, it does not meet patient expectations.
-Various chemicals are used during teeth whitening. The chemicals used should be used under the supervision of a dentist. Chemical agents used under the control of the dentist do not harm the teeth. Although it is very rare, it can sometimes cause sensitivity in the teeth. This sensitivity goes away in a very short time.
-After the whitening treatment, the patient should carefully follow the recommendations of the dentist. Otherwise, the whitening treatment will lose its effect in a very short time.
